Top Countries to Visit in Europe
Did you know that there are 44 countries in Europe? How do you know which one will be best for you? Well, you might not know in advance. Or, you might think you know but then end up being wrong. A country that I thought I wouldn’t be a huge fan of ended up being my favorite country I have ever visited. The thing to remember is that you have to put yourself out there an experience something before you can be sure if it will be right for you or not. Here are the top five countries to visit in Europe (these are not my top five, by the way…these are based on tourism calculations).
France
With the Eiffel Tower, the Lourve, The Palace of Versailles and Normandy Beach, you should not be surprised that France is number one on our list. Also, make sure you make a point to visit Mont Saint-Michel on your tip. This is a place you won't soon forget
Spain
Spain really has it all- cities, beaches, countrysides, mountains. Spain is most known for cities like Barcelona and Madrid, which are amazing to visit, but don't get wrapped in just those locations. Make sure to check out the lesser known regions and I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Italy
I don't even know where to start with Italy. The regions are so different from one another, you could literally take a dozen trips there and never visit the same place twice. Venice, Naples and Rome are best for history; Florence and Tuscany for wine; Sorrento and Positano for striking cliffs; Northern Italy for mountains and lakes- a traveler's dream for sure!
Turkey
This one shocked me quite a bit, but I get it now. Turkey presents a kind of East-meets-West vibe and you get a mesh of different types of culture, food and experiences. With people trekking to places like Cappadocia to see the famous hot air balloons at dawn or searching for the most beautiful, untouched beaches in Antalya- I get it. Turkey has jumped up a lot of spots on my must see list.
Germany
This one was a no-brainer for me...I am surprised it wasn't higher on the list. Germany is an incredibly vast and spirited country and the people are super nice too! Dense forests cover almost 1/3 of the land in Germany and peppered in between all of that open land are the five major cities that each have their own personalities and vibes.
